Umm, sure they would, they are Apple customers. They would pay over $3000 for a laptop computer. Something nearly unheard of in the PC world.
Yeah because there's no such thing as Alienware.
To be honest, it was 2.5 years ago.
And they merely added Thunderbolt connectivity to the existing monitor. The basic display has been around for almost 4 years now.
Apple makes (usually) excellent displays. They take forever to update their line for some reason.
seems like a pipe dream especially since apple claims their 17" laptops sold so poorly.
Yeah and they still charge 600 quid for them.
Dell and LG have realised their folly of making anti-glare screens and their newest panels are actually pretty good.
Which display manufacturer do they typically use for the Apple-branded displays? LG or Samsung? I wonder if that's something I can find out in System Information on my iMac.

Was that the gigantic MacBook that was advertised with Yao Ming?

Just like high end PC laptops cost $3000 or more no difference. You want high spec and or high quality you pay a high price.

People working in colour-accurate graphics environments have always paid a lot for displays because you get what you pay for. It's not the middle class, creditcard millionaire set who are buying them for the logo, then using them as web and emailing devices, it's people who literally NEED them for their work.
There's a Terminal command you can use for that. Sadly, I haven't the faintest idea of what it is.
You guys would really pay a thousand bucks for a monitor?
It's not just a monitor. It's a high quality screen, Thunderbolt dock, speakers, HD webcam, Thunderbolt cable, and MB charger. And all that plugs in with 2 cables.
You're making too much sense.
That's highly unexpected behaviour here on MR. Tsk tsk.

For personal use, never. For work, yes, without a doubt (and more, if it's worth it)
AAAAAWESOME! I've been waiting for this!
Now I'm almost regretting just having purchased two brand new TB displays.. but Hell anyway, just release 4k ones and I'll be the first to get two and sell my Tb "old" ones.. It would just be SUCH a big advantage of the nMP then, just to have so much more screen real estate for after effects work...
BRING IT ON!

Ahhhh. Hold on. Apple is selling a 31" Sharp 4K display in their store for well over $3,000 and you think a 4K Thunderbolt Display will land from the heavens at $1,399? Keep dreaming. If they release one I'd be stunned if it's a penny less than $2,499. Doubt we'll see price points for high end 60Hz 4K Thunderbolt Displays that low until late 2015-2016.
The article is saying that text and menus aren't rendered like on a Retina Mac Book Pro, unless you're using 10.9.3.

Considering I paid $150 for a Samsung monitor, that's pretty bad - yes, I'd pay premium for a great product.
IPS 4K currently costs $3,200-$3,600...
Given how many features Apple adds to Cinema displays, it's hard to believe their display would cost only one quarter that of existing IPS 4K displays, which start at $3K and up. Those cheap $800 4K non-IPS displays are OK if you mainly deal with text and don't care about extreme dimming to the edges, but if you care about color at all, you really need an IPS panel.
The monitor is a heck of a lot more important than the computer, and a good one can last 3x as long as well...
Still, it's a luxury, and for $4,000, I'd first splurge on a 4K television for my family, and only then get myself an awesome monitor.
